Question:
Use Mendeleev’s Periodic Table to predict the formulae for the oxides of the following elements: K, C, Al, Si, Ba.
Answer:
Dmitri Mendeleev gave a periodic law to arrange the elements. According to this law, the properties of elements are the periodic function of their atomic masses.
The potassium is placed in group I of Mendeleev’ Periodic table. The oxide and hydride of Group I elements are R2O and RH respectively. Thus, K2O is the oxide of potassium.
The carbon is placed in group IV of Mendeleev’ Periodic table. The oxide and hydride of Group IV elements are RO2 and RH4 respectively. Thus, CO2 is the oxide of carbon.
The aluminium is placed in group III of Mendeleev’ Periodic table. The oxide and hydride of Group III elements are R2O3 and RH3 respectively. Thus, Al2O3 is the oxide of aluminium.
The silicon is placed in group IV of Mendeleev’ Periodic table. The oxide and hydride of Group IV elements are RO2 and RH4 respectively. Thus, SiO2 is the oxide of silicon.
The barium is placed in group II of Mendeleev’ Periodic table. The oxide and hydride of Group II elements are RO and RH2 respectively. Thus, BaO is the oxide of barium.

What our students and parents say about us!
Saiyam is using EduSaksham online courses from past one year. He is able to complete his tutorials, worksheets, and assignments on his own. Once he is done with worksheets, he can check his answers and if he has done any mistakes, then he can check the correct answers and explanations. They have been given so well that he is able to understand them himself and rarely he asks us for any clarification. He enjoys using the platform and has learned and improved a lot in Mathematics. I would recommend EduSaksham to all parents who want their kids to learn in a structured way and also enjoy the learning process.
Neeraj (Saiyam's Father)
I would like to thank Edusaksham on behalf of my son Aditya who attended " Math Olympiad crash course for 5 weeks". As per Aditya, this course helped him to understand new topics like Roman numerals and decimal places which were not taught in his school till date and had a better understanding of other topics. I personally thank EduSaksham for all the help and support.
Geeta Bansal (Aditya's Mother)
We had a good experience with EduSaksham. Because sheets are available online, Vedant enjoyed doing more and more sheets without any reminders. I could leave him on his own as he was very much motivated to cover the topics. Practice is very important in maths but it becomes difficult for us to prepare sheets, I am glad we found EduSaksham where in a lot of in a lot of sheets are available for practice and the quality of questions are also good. As it's a venture from IITians we could think of giving it a try and I am glad we tried
Shikha Chowdhary (Vedant's Mother)
I have grown up in a family where my father used to give me practice maths paper every day which I need to finish before I go to play. I think that strong foundation of solving new questions every day helped me to clear my IITJEE exam. But as working women, I always had time challenge to create practice Math papers for my daughter. Thanks to EduSaksham, their questions are so logical and conceptual that I don't feel the guilt of not creating practice questions by myself :). There are plenty of worksheet along with the tutorials for each chapter. It has made parents life easier :) And the best part is my daughter loves doing it. Thank you EduSaksham.
